Product Recall Query

Exploring

This program lets you view details on product recalls.

Things you can do in this program include:

  • Query and view details regarding all product recalls
  • View the status history and reasons of stock items in product recalls

  • This program is accessed from the Program List pane of the SYSPRO menu:

    Program List > Lot Traceability > Product Recall

This occurs when there are safety concerns over an item (or manufacturing defect in a product) that may be harmful to the consumer. This results in one or more products having to be withdrawn from the market.

SYSPRO's Lot Traceability system is used to identify all items and transactions involved in the recall. Items are placed into quarantine for inspection.

Contaminated or sub-standard stock items are scrapped, while unspoiled or undamaged items are released from quarantine.

A mock recall is an exercise that involves imitating all procedures for an actual product recall. In SYSPRO, this tests the traceability of products and verifies that the recall process is effective and can be carried out within the required time limit.

Products involved in a mock recall aren't actually put on hold (i.e. transactions such as invoicing and generating delivery notes can still be processed against them).

Mock product recall data is stored for compliance reasons and traceability audits.

Starting

You can restrict operator access to programs by assigning them to groups and applying access control against the group (configured using the Operator Groups program).

Using

  • Columns in a list view are sometimes hidden by default. You can reinstate them using the Field Chooser option from the context-sensitive menu (displayed by right-clicking a header column header in the list view). Select and drag the required column to a position in the list view header.

  • Fields on a pane are sometimes removed by default. You can reinstate them using the Field Selector option from the context-sensitive menu (displayed by right-clicking any field in the pane). Select and drag the required fields onto the pane.

    The captions for fields are also sometimes hidden. You can select the Show Captions option from the context-sensitive menu to see a list of them. Click on the relevant caption to reinstate it to the form.

    If the Show Captions option is grayed out, it means no captions are hidden for that form.

  • Press Ctrl+F1 within a list view or form to view a complete list of functions available.

  • Once you select a line on the Product Recall Details list view, the on hold / release / scrap reasons are displayed on the Product Recall Activity History pane.
